Shoot You Down
the maniacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me of our
Messed up hearts
And impractical aspirations
Relive
Relive
Just take me back
Just back to then
It plagues my conscience and it hides me
Away
Losing all I have
Hurts to imagine Your faces around me
Slowly fading away
Causing agony
Throws me under I can't reach you
Haunt me till I die
Lost for words
I lost our time
I'll Search the wreckage
Just to salvage the high
I feel so hopeless
Your memory it buries me
An overdose of emptiness
Take my pain away
Losing all I have
Hurts to imagine your faces around me
Slowly fading away
Causing agony
Throws me under I can't reach you
Haunt me till I die
I'll take your hand
I will follow you down
I am begging for a chance to break
The surface
From the ground I'll rise
You've been smothering me
Wishing I would die
You were the
Only hope left
For my agony
Now I see
That you've become it too
You break me
"Shoot You Down" by The Maniacs delves into the theme of nostalgia and lost love. The song expresses the longing to go back to a time when the relationship was intact, but acknowledges the impossibility of that desire. The lyrics reflect on the pain of losing someone, the agony of their absence, and the haunting memories that continue to linger.
The chorus emphasizes the emotional toll of losing someone: "Losing all I have, hurts to imagine your faces around me, slowly fading away, causing agony, throws me under, I can't reach you, haunt me till I die." These lines depict the struggle of trying to let go and move on from a broken relationship, as the memories and pain still persist.
The second verse highlights the desperation to salvage the happiness once shared: "Lost for words, I lost our time, I'll search the wreckage just to salvage the high, I feel so hopeless, your memory it buries me, an overdose of emptiness, take my pain away." Here, the lyrics convey the singer's willingness to go to great lengths to recapture the joy and love they once experienced.
The bridge reveals a deep yearning to reconnect: "I'll take your hand, I will follow you down, I am begging for a chance to break the surface, from the ground I'll rise, you've been smothering me, wishing I would die." This section presents a desperate plea to reconcile and a desire to escape the suffocating pain of being without the other person.
Overall, "Shoot You Down" explores the complexities of lost love, longing for a time that can never be regained, the lingering pain of memories, and the hope for resolution.
Line by Line Meaning
Remind
This song serves as a reminder
Me of our
To me, it brings back memories of our
Messed up hearts
Relationships filled with pain and turmoil
And impractical aspirations
And dreams that were unrealistic and unattainable
Relive
Relive those moments
Relive
To experience it all again
Just take me back
Just bring me back in time
Just back to then
Back to a specific point in the past
Nostalgia knocks me to the ground
The feeling of nostalgia overwhelms me
It plagues my conscience and it hides me
It torments my mind and makes me retreat
Away
Into solitude
Losing all I have
I'm losing everything I had
Hurts to imagine Your faces around me
The thought of not having you around hurts
Slowly fading away
Gradually disappearing from my life
Causing agony
Causing intense emotional pain
Throws me under I can't reach you
It feels like I'm being dragged down and can't reach you
Haunt me till I die
You continue to haunt me until my last breath
Lost for words
Speechless and unable to find the right words
I lost our time
I lost the time we had together
I'll search the wreckage
I'll look for any remaining pieces
Just to salvage the high
Just to hold on to the euphoric feeling
I feel so hopeless
I feel completely devoid of hope
Your memory it buries me
The memory of you overwhelms and suffocates me
An overdose of emptiness
An overwhelming amount of emptiness and void
Take my pain away
Please relieve me of this pain
I'll take your hand
I'll reach out and hold your hand
I will follow you down
I'll go wherever you lead
I am begging for a chance to break
I am desperate for an opportunity to escape
The surface
The superficial layer of life
From the ground I'll rise
I'll rise up from the depths I'm in
You've been smothering me
You've been suffocating me
Wishing I would die
Hoping for my demise
You were the
You used to be the
Only hope left
The last source of hope
For my agony
To alleviate my pain and suffering
Now I see
But now I realize
That you've become it too
That you've also become a source of agony
You break me
You shatter and destroy me
